Introduction

Ghosts, haunted houses, snow people come to life, talking dogs and frogs and an interesting new perspective of a very old Christmas story. Jeanette Winterson’s Christmas Days, a collection of twelve short stories features all those things and more. The more includes a dozen recipes interspersed between the stories, little vignettes that not only give us a recipe but also give us an insight into Winterson’s Christmases.

Published in 2016, Christmas Days adds to Winterson’s impressive list of publications that includes novels, a memoir, children’s books and a comic book.
